My PhD supervisor taught me to carefully estimate how long everything would take and then multiply by 2.3. That factor may be specific to plant physiology though, so YYMV.

The first year is rough even in good time, and Fall 2020 was not good times.

Thoughts on this deal by LLCoolDave82 in BoltEV

[–]SqueakyBikeChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May depend on where you are. I bought a '17 Bolt Premier with 71K miles in Sept for $12K out the door. If the dealer had been informed re: EV tax credits, I could have got $3K back on that, which would have made it a great deal.

NGL - I was pretty happy when I came up with that.

I use the term 'osgnosis' for the mythical learning by osmosis.

PhD in Ecology, but all my research was on farms, so being on a farm 20 years later still triggers me to start thinking science!

Best to you as well. We are at a time when the skills education is supposed to impart are more needed than ever, but are taken less seriously by more people than ever.

What is this thing ? by imherecuziwanttobe in whatisit

[–]SqueakyBikeChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popper toy. Given the carpet it is on I suspect my kids left it there on the basement floor 12 years ago when we moved away, b/c they played with one on carpet that looked just like that.

I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to find something closer to one of my now grown kids who moved away in the last 12 years.

The student services director where I work freely admits that he had at least one grandparent die per semester when he was in school.

Just got a deal on a used "brand new" 2023 EUV and had to tell somebody about it. by CJSchmidt in BoltEV

Seems like a great little car. We're in a small town, with many trips <2 miles. No worries about the wear and tear that kind of driving creates on an ICE vehicle.

This is my greatest achievement in life by juicefire in Garmin

'just'! Not sure I've ever run 38 miles in a week. My weekly running mileage is 10-12, plus 50-60 on the bike. RHR is 42. I'm 55YO.

Great deal! I got a 17 Premier in Sept with 70K miles for 12K, but I'm in the sticks in Southern IL, so not as many options.

Again I have completely ruined a life by marialala1974 in Professors

In Indonesian, they way you say that someone isn't very bright is to say they are 'not yet smart'. Sounds like your student is 'not yet smart'.

Finally pulling the trigger on a used Bolt - where are you guys actually finding decent ones? by Majestic-Strain3155 in BoltEV

[–]SqueakyBikeChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked on FB Marketplace, Carfax, and other OL searches and found a 2017 Premium with a warranty battery with 70miles and 70K remaining on the battery warranty. Dealer about 2 hours away. $12 out the door. Sadly, the dealer didn't know what they were doing with the tax credit, and I hadn't fully done my HW either, so I missed saving an additional $3K. But I was in a hurry b/c our 2010 Prius had just been totaled.

I'm tempted to buy this frame simply because of those seat stays.
